Meet the Insight Team

Steve MartinGeneral Manager

I have worked in the field of sight impairment for almost 20 years and took over as General Manager of Insight Gloucestershire in 2007. Having been severely sight impaired since the age of 34, I really appreciate some of the problems our clients face on a day-to-day basis.

Married with four children and four grandchildren, I enjoy reading, watching TV and of course, spending time with my family.

My role at Gloucestershire Insight is to organise and run the day-to-day operations in the Low Vision Centre. This includes identifying items which can help sight impaired people live a more independent lifestyle.

My role is helping people understand what Insight does and how it supports people living with sight loss within the Gloucestershire area. Everyone finds they have different hurdles to overcome, at different times and Insight’s role is to provide the right information so that people can manage these issues as best as possible.
